Teacher Yu on Crown Prince
Lin Shu's purpose was obvious!
It was obvious that he wanted to vent his anger at the pavilion on her.
However, Ji Yunshu didn't want to cause any trouble, so she kept a polite smile on her face. "Young Master Lin, I'm not being modest or immodest. If you have something to say, please tell me directly."
"I don't have anything else, and I don't have any other intentions. I just feel that … Mister, you must be brimming with talent and have read a lot of books. Therefore, I want to exchange some knowledge with you. I hope Mister can teach me a thing or two."
As soon as he finished speaking, he clasped his hands and bowed.
From the looks of it, he was sincere and sincere.
Ji Yunshu pondered, 'This is a hot potato. Should I take it or not?'
At this moment, Tang Si, who had been standing at the side, jumped up and said in a loud and clear voice, "Ah Ji, he's obviously here to pick a fight. Didn't he want to learn from us? Then you should teach him well, and let these nerds see how far ahead you are of them. "
Raising his chin, his arrogant gaze was clear.
It was indeed strange that a woman had entered the Academy!
Everyone looked towards Tang Si. This girl looked pretty good, her facial features were exquisite, and her body could be considered nimble. However, she had a tsundere aura that was not pleasing to the eye.
Lin Shu stared at her from head to toe and sneered disdainfully, "Women should stay at home and study the zither, chess, calligraphy and painting, embroidery and weaving. How can you be like this? Not only do you spend all day with a man, you even came to our academy. As the saying goes, women are femme fatales. We are all students who are going to the capital to take the imperial examinations. Don't bring bad luck to us."
Tang Si's face turned green!
He rebuked, "What did you say?"
"I say, a calamity is defeated by a beautiful face."
Tang Si did not understand, so she turned to Ji Yunshu anxiously, "What are they talking about? What disaster? What disaster? What does that mean? "
It would have been better if she hadn't asked, but the moment she did, she attracted the ridicule of the crowd.
Especially Lin Shu, his mouth was unforgiving. "So, you're illiterate. But I can't blame you for not understanding. After all, a woman's virtue is to have no talent."
In any case, from Tang Si's point of view, it was nothing good.
Furious, he said, "In my opinion, nothing good comes out of your filthy mouth. You're simply courting death."
As soon as she finished speaking, she grabbed at her waist, revealing the tip of the silver whip. In the next moment, Ji Yunshu stopped her.
She shook her head at her. "Don't cause trouble."
"They …"
"I'll say it again. This is not a place for you to get into trouble."
Tang Si's eyes were blazing with anger. Her chest was heaving up and down, and her breath was rolling up and down in her throat. She almost spat it out.
However, those students who were courting death laughed louder and louder. Someone even said, "Kong Sheng is right. Only women and despicable people are hard to raise."
It attracted a burst of laughter!
Tang Si pointed at them and tilted her head to ask Ji Yunshu, "What do they mean by that?"
Ji Yunshu's expression darkened. She looked at the students who were supposed to be refined, but at this moment, each and every one of them had sharp mouths and monkey cheeks. In her heart, she was disappointed, but also a little angry.
A child happened to pass by and noticed the situation. He immediately ran to inform Teacher Yu.
At this moment, in the long corridor of the backyard, Jing Rong and Teacher Yu were leisurely chatting.
Along the long corridor, red lanterns hung all the way. The light shone on the intricately carved wooden pillars, the ground, and the trees. The shadows of the trees swayed faintly, creating a sense of beauty. Coupled with the sound of the leaves rustling in the breeze, this was a good place to chat.
At the end of the long corridor was a square platform. There were three exquisitely carved screens on each side. Only one side was open, and inside, a light fragrance of tea filled the air.
It lingered at the tip of his nose, warm and comfortable.
Jing Rong and Teacher Yu sat cross-legged opposite each other. On the low table, there was a pot of tea and two cups.
Jing Rong took a sip of the tea and enjoyed the aftertaste for a while. Then, he said, "Teacher Yu, you are living a happy life now. Cultivating your body and mind in this secluded and elegant place, living a leisurely life all day long. The word 'leisurely' belongs to you."
Opposite him, Teacher Yu held a palm-leaf fan in his hand and gently fanned it. Because his white beard was too long, it covered most of his mouth. It was hard to tell whether he was smiling or not.
He said, "This place is good. It is far away from the disputes of the imperial court, and it is leisurely and carefree."
"It seems that Teacher's resignation was a good one."
"Most of the matters in the officialdom are fleeting clouds. Words, actions, and etiquette are all unpredictable and convoluted. As the saying goes, 'Deep in the forest, broken branches fall, and golden carps swim in the clear water'. People should stay where they belong. Why do they have to get their heads broken and bleed? Why do they have to go to such a thorny place?" Teacher Yu sighed and always liked to drag his words.
Although he dragged his words, it did not sound boring. Instead, in such a pleasant environment, it was rather thought-provoking. Jing Rong followed suit and said, "Most people are not saints. Saints are wise men.
Jing Rong chimed in, "Humans are not sages. Sages are wise men. What Headmaster said makes sense. Although this is a land of sages, if you stay here for too long, you will either die or be injured. More than forty years ago, Headmaster retired and founded Mingshan Academy here. For many years, it has been providing talents to the court. Now, most of the students from Mingshan Academy are officials in the court. They are all honest officials with high positions. This credit should be given to you, Headmaster."
Opposite him, Teacher Yu continued to wave the fan in his hand and said, "The imperial court rules are always the imperial court rules. No one is allowed to cross the line. The imperial court is like a battlefield. Everyone wants to climb up, but who knows that the higher you climb, the more painful it will be when you fall. However, if you can hold onto a vine while climbing, as long as the vine does not break when you fall, you will naturally be safe and sound. Every three years, I explain this to the students who enter the academy."
The imperial examinations were held once every three years, so didn't it mean that he had to explain it once every three years?
It was precisely because of this that Teacher Yu's students who became officials in the imperial court were rarely impeached or removed from their positions. They all knew their place and firmly held onto their official positions.
Jing Rong nodded in agreement with his words.
A moment later, Teacher Yu sighed again and continued, "Although I have retired for more than forty years, I often hear some things. Some students would write a letter to me every time the time comes. Previously, they even talked about the Crown Prince. Actually, there is no exact reason for it. After all, it is a disaster for the country. However, it can only be attributed to two things. Either it was a conspiracy for many years, or it was instigated by someone. That Crown Prince …" He dragged out his words and slowly sipped his tea. "He is a clumsy person. The fire in Chengqing Hall was caused by the sulfur on the iron wires. How could the Crown Prince think of such a meticulous thing? Besieging the palace to commit regicide? That is a serious matter. He is already the Crown Prince, why is he in such a hurry? I guess it is because there are many vile people! "
It was a little strenuous for Teacher Yu to say so much in one breath.
He coughed twice.
Moreover, he openly talked about the Crown Prince's attempt to commit regicide in front of a prince. It was simply shocking.
